OCCUPIER Q&A

by Bill Costley

Demonstrators affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street rally in New York's Times Square. -AP

Q: How can you tell a Wall  St. Occupier?
A: By their lack of hierarchy, no rigid
 party program, & real handmade signs.

Q: Where are all the Wall  St. Occupiers
going? Nobody really seems to know.
A: To a big local bank, to stand outside it
holding up real handmade signs saying:
THIS BANK’S TOO BIG

Q: What can you tell a Wall St. Occupier?
A: Anything you like.  Whatever you say,
there’ ll be someone who agrees with you,
& someone who totally disagrees, too.
